Planning a trip to the local multiplex this weekend? Here are DVDTalk's reviews of the latest theatrical releases: Star Trek Into Darkness - while this sequel is most certainly exciting, it isn't fresh... instead of simply referencing the original films, it steals entire plot points; Mud - writer/director Jeff Nichols makes this film both uniquely authentic and genuine; and Frances Ha - with a main character and narrative that are both infectious... this funny and charming film is a rare gem.
Other recent films include: The Great Gatsby, Iron Man 3, Pain & Gain, Sightseers, Oblivion, and Graceland.
Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.

The big release this week is Baz Luhrmann's adaptaion of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. DVDTalk reviewer Jeff Nelson thought that Leonardo DiCaprio's performance makes the movie worth checking out on the big screen while Jamie S. Rich found very little to compliment. Other new releases include: Sightseers [ a second review] - a quirky, yet dark comedy that is a thoroughly entertaining film; and Aftershock - while the cons heavily outweigh the pros, this isn't an absolute waste of time.
Other recent films include: Iron Man 3, Pain & Gain, Oblivion, Graceland, 42, and Simon Killer. .
